Marvin Lewis

Opening comments … “I’m pleased with the return of our guys, pleased with their conditioning level and what they’ve being doing throughout the time they were away from us. We’ve had good positive work and positive-progress guys. Yesterday was a good check-in day and so forth, with the completion of

Offensive coordinator Hue Jackson's stars are healthy again. After Friday’s first practice of training camp, Bengals perennial Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Green realized it was pretty much the first time he had lined up with wide receiver Marvin Jones and tight end Tyler Eifert since the Bengals ...

As the Bengals prepared for their first practice of training camp Friday at 3 p.m. on the Paul Brown Stadium practice fields, their versatility on both sides of the ball should be on display. With all their offensive weapons in a re-union, look for guys like tight end Tyler Eifert and running backs ...

During training camp I’m often asked, “What player has been the most impressive?” In each of the last two years, my answer has been Tyler Eifert. But don’t take my word for how good the tight end looks at practice. Just listen to former Bengals wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh. The 2007 Pro Bowler ...

NFL Network comes to Bengals training camp today, for a two-hour (3-5 p.m.) nationally televised special. Bengals radio voices Dan Hoard and Dave Lapham will be in the center of the operation, offering commentary and practice analysis. The centerpiece of the broadcast will be one hour of practice (estimated 3:10-4:10 p.m.) covered as if it were a network game. Head coach MarvinLewis has coordinated with producers to map a plan that will give fans the best possible overall look at the multiple team activities that comprise a full practice. NFLN will cover the action with three cameras, so viewers will be able to move from drill-to-drill from the comfort of their armchairs. “This is one of the opportunities we like to create for some extra buzz in training camp,” Lewis said. “Another example will be the joint practices we have here with the Giants (Aug. 11-12). Camp is a tough daily haul for the players, and we need that energy every day. Events like this help break up the routine.” The Bengals, one of only four NFL teams to reach the playoffs each of the last four years, are scheduled for five nationally televised games this season, one in preseason and four in the regular season. But their first prolonged national exposure comes today. “It’s great,” said QB Andy Dalton . “It’s not a game, but it’s a chance to show off at our best for a big audience. I think all the guys are looking forward to it.” After the practice special, NFLN’s Stacey Dales will have interviews with Lewis, Dalton and WR A.J. Green during the network’s Inside Training Camp and Total Access programming. The two-hour special will re-air at 9 p.m. tonight and at 1 a.m. and 4 a.m. tomorrow.
